Chapter 3035: Outer Realm Reinforcements

Ah!

The First Sheng Mo's wail was more piercing than that of any evil spirit, yet it changed nothing. Under Ye Chen's Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, his physical body withered inch by inch, and his Yuan Shen disintegrated bit by bit. Even in death, he was filled with resentment and unwillingness—resentment toward the Sheng Ti lineage, and unwillingness to be defeated by them. A battle they should have won completely had ended in utter humiliation, leading to the total destruction of his body and spirit.

If the generation's Sheng Mo were present, he would surely be so furious as to spit blood.

Counting them up, the few great generals under his command, including Di Sha Can Zhu, had all met gruesome ends, truly tarnishing the reputation of both him and the Sheng Mo lineage. In such a fight, even two against one weakened opponent should have been a victory, yet they were wiped out so disgustingly.

The screams eventually faded into silence.

That peak Tian Di level Sheng Mo had become nothing but dust in history, while Ye Chen, as the slayer, had forged another myth, adding yet another glorious and profound stroke to his defiantly heaven-defying path.

The blood-red illusion finally settled into tranquility.

Ye Chen staggered to his feet, exhausted but with no time to rest. Gripping the blood-drenched Yong Heng Sword, he stumbled toward the Tai Gu Road. He had already heard the thunderous sounds of battle. If he had known he could survive the siege of two Sheng Mo, he would never have sent away the Hun Dun Ding. What he thought was leaving behind hope had unknowingly thrust the assembled emperors and divine generals into a fiery pit.

Meanwhile, on another front.

The Tai Gu Road shook violently amid the rumbling booms. The supreme beings' group battle was shattering heaven and earth—it might not be a pit of fire, but it was undeniably brutal. Even powerhouses like Di Huang and Hong Yan were covered in fresh blood; figures like Jian Zun and Jian Shen were barely clinging to life, and even the Hun Dun Ding had been cracked.

"Will we really be wiped out completely?"

The divine generals' eyes were bloodshot, their hearts bleeding at the sight. One female emperor had already fallen, Ye Chen's fate was unknown, and now the assembled emperors were all struggling on the brink of annihilation. This Tai Gu Road, paved with blood and bones, might truly become the grave of their Zhutian expeditionary force.

"You bastards, let us out!"

Xiao Yuan Huang brandished his iron staff, still cursing loudly. His once dim eyes now burned with forcibly summoned flames. His domineering aura was unsteady, but his will to fight was soaring. If death awaited on both sides, better to die in battle than be exterminated without a fight—at least they should make an effort. Being trapped in the ding like this was absurd; after all, they weren't strangers to fighting emperors.

"Get out of here! Stay put and behave."

The Hun Dun Shen Ding shot back a retort. It had said before that this wasn't an ordinary emperor-level brawl; with peak-level Tian Di involved, even great emperors might not withstand the destructive aftershocks. If the divine generals went out, they'd just be cannon fodder. With its master absent, it had to guard them fiercely.

"I'd like to see how long you can hold out."

An Outer Domain Tian Di charged forward, hair disheveled and teeth gritted. He had been battered relentlessly by the Hun Dun Ding, leaving him in a wretched state, and it had truly enraged him.

It had to be said that a provoked Outer Domain Tian Di at this level was still overwhelmingly dominant. Even something as tough as the Hun Dun Ding was being battered and cracked, with fissures spreading across its body. It was a Tian Di artifact, to be sure, but it was still just a tool. Facing a true Tian Di, especially one at the peak realm, defeat was inevitable in a prolonged fight.

In reality, it had already lost. Without divine power to replenish itself, it was growing weaker by the moment. Without its master to support it, once it weakened, it would collapse entirely.

All it could do was delay as much as possible. Whether it held out until Ye Chen returned or until Di Huang and Hong Yan slew their enemies, a glimmer of hope would dawn.

Like the ding itself, the Hun Dun Fire and Hun Dun Thunder were doing the same, using every trick at their disposal to desperately hold back those two Outer Domain great emperors.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Blood light erupted continuously in the void; the battle was exceedingly fierce. For the Zhutian emperors, aside from Di Huang and Hong Yan, they were all being suppressed. Emperor bones stained with emperor blood exploded across the sky.

"Hold on."

The divine generals gritted their teeth, giving up on calling to the Hun Dun Ding—it wouldn't let them out. Unable to join the fight, they could only silently cheer on the emperors, though their words felt hollow and powerless.

"I'm afraid we can't hold on much longer."

Zao Hua Shen Wang murmured, being the first to glance toward the western void. He could see towering demonic aura surging forth, carrying Outer Domain supremes in its wake, with a massive and imposing formation.

Clearly, more from the Outer Domain had infiltrated.

"I..."

Ming Jue nearly choked, almost collapsing on the spot. It was like a leaky roof during a storm—this situation was absurdly ridiculous. They were already outmatched, and now reinforcements had arrived.

"Has the Zhutian destiny been exhausted?"

Ren Wang gazed silently into the distance. Ever since the Tian Ting female emperor's fall, the Zhutian expeditionary force hadn't caught a break. Though Ye Chen had been holding things together, even he had his limits.

"Why show up now of all times?"

Long Ye cursed under his breath, grinding his teeth in frustration. He didn't know if it was coincidence or some heavenly meddling, but they had arrived at this critical moment. How the hell were they supposed to fight now?

"Damn it."

Zhan Shen Xing Tian spat blood, his injury matched by his rage. Their current lineup was already at its breaking point, let alone with more Outer Domain infiltrators. Would their Zhutian expeditionary force really be completely annihilated on this cursed Tai Gu Road?

In that instant, the emperors' expressions turned utterly grim.

In contrast, the Outer Domain forces—from the Tian Di down to the demon soldiers—laughed wildly and without restraint, their faces twisted and terrifying, each one licking their blood-red tongues.

With the arrival of the Outer Domain reinforcements, the supremes' group battle finally paused briefly, the two sides facing off east and west in a standoff. The Outer Domain supremes could still stand firm, but more than half of the Zhutian emperors were swaying unsteadily.

Boom! Rumble!

The truce lasted only two or three instants before the Outer Domain reinforcements arrived. Leading them were two Di Dao Sheng Mo, their cultivation realms even surpassing those of Di Huang and Hong Yan—genuine peaks. With blood-red hair billowing, they stood like demonic gods in the heavens. Besides them, there were three E Mo Tian Di and six Tian Mo Da Di.

The Outer Domain supremes had now united.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared across the heavens, all due to the Outer Domain. Their linked pressures and surging demonic aura formed a canopy that blocked out the sun and moon.

Boom! Rumble!

Even before the battle resumed, that stretch of heaven and earth was in chaos, as the Zhutian emperors and Outer Domain supremes confronted each other. The outcome was easy to foresee—the emperors' auras were being suppressed and weakened.

The scene was truly heart-wrenching for the divine generals to witness.

Looking at the Zhutian emperors, they staggered one by one, their bodies riddled with blood gashes and drenched in blood. In contrast, the Outer Domain supremes stood like unyielding monuments. In this battle, there was no need to fight; the result was clear. Whether in terms of condition or lineup, the Outer Domain absolutely crushed Zhutian.

However, they still had hope.

This hope lay not only in Ye Chen but also in the Tai Gu Road's chaos. Once it erupted, it would likely scatter everyone in all directions, perhaps allowing some to escape alive.

"Di Dao Sheng Ti, how interesting."

A Di Dao Sheng Mo chuckled sinisterly, glancing at Di Huang, his mocking eyes lingering on Hong Yan. In his blood-red gaze, there was a depth of menace and brutality. It seemed everywhere they went, there were old acquaintances, but unfortunately, they were enemies.

"I'll give you a chance: submit to me."

Another voice spoke, from the other Di Dao Sheng Mo, as he casually stretched his neck. He exuded not just menace but also a demonic allure. Looking at Hong Yan, his eyes were filled with lewd intent. After becoming an emperor for so long, he had never tasted the flavor of a Di Dao Sheng Ti.

Hong Yan remained silent.

Her cold and indifferent demeanor was the best answer. All beings had their obsessions, and supremes were no different. Having chosen their stance, they would not waver. Whether in life or death, they had no regrets.

"You're asking for death."

The Di Dao Sheng Mo sneered coldly and was the first to attack, targeting Hong Yan. The lustful light in his eyes grew even more intense—he was clearly one who appreciated beauty.

His move was a signal.

"Kill."

The Outer Domain supremes advanced, one after another, sweeping in with towering demonic aura, their faces more sinister than ghosts or demons.

"Fight."

The Zhutian emperors also moved, their auras weak but their will to fight high. Having fought their way here, they had seen every kind of grand scene. At worst, it was just death! No matter what, they couldn't tarnish the Zhutian reputation.

Boom! Rumble!

Another group battle erupted, exclusive to both sides' supremes. The Outer Domain charged from west to east, while Zhutian advanced from east to west. Even before the clash, the heavens collapsed and the earth split, with omens of destruction manifesting.

At that very moment, a buzzing sound shook the eight directions.

Before the echo faded, a golden war spear shot forth from the end of the Tai Gu Road, dyed with Yong Heng and etched with immortality, carrying a devastating force that could crush all in its path.

Pfft!

A spray of Di Dao blood appeared. The Sheng Mo lunging at Hong Yan didn't even know what hit him before he was impaled in the void, his legs and arms flailing helplessly as he struggled to break free.

"This..."

The Outer Domain supremes, midway in their charge, all halted collectively. They could see pairs of demonic eyes fixed on that void, their expressions filled with shock and inner turmoil. That was a great emperor at the peak—a Sheng Mo no less! To slay a peak Tian Di with a single spear, what kind of cultivation and power was this? A quasi Huang Di?

"Just as I said, the Zhutian destiny still endures."

The emperors all laughed, marveling at the golden war spear's might and its dazzling presence. Besides their Ye Tian Di, who else could it be?

"Arrived at just the right time."

The divine generals took a deep breath, not knowing why, but hearing Ye Chen's name brought them a sense of calm. A belief had taken root long ago: as long as the tenth emperor of Da Chu was there, the situation could be stabilized.

Ah!

The Sheng Mo's screams and howls were shrill, nailed in place and unable to escape, now reduced to a bloody mess. All his so-called realm, bloodline, laws, and divine abilities had become meaningless.

The Outer Domain supremes wanted to save him, but it was too late. The war spear was too terrifying, its brilliant light radiating as destructive force spread. In the end, that peak Sheng Mo was reduced inch by inch to blood mist, until he became mere ashes.

Hiss!

The Outer Domain supremes all drew in sharp breaths, retreating in unison. With just one spear, a peak Sheng Mo had been slain. The opponent's terror had shattered all previous limits of shock.

"As proven, trying to woo a Sheng Ti's partner comes at a price. This will be a truth."

The divine generals spoke earnestly. Not only the Outer Domain supremes but even they felt their hearts tremble. Why else was he called Ye Tian Di? He was just that dominant, striking down a supreme with a single blow.

"Awkward."

The Zhutian emperors chuckled dryly. We've been fighting this long and still haven't slain an emperor, but you're truly impressive—one face-off and you took out a peak Sheng Mo. This Tian Di-level Sheng Ti is no joke. Among emperors, he's the supreme one, while we're just the minor players.

As for the slain Sheng Mo, he had it coming. If given another chance, he'd probably behave himself. He was the one who stuck his neck out first, the very bird that got shot.

So, the moral is: when idle, don't show off. Showing off too much invites retribution. Like him, he came to the Tai Gu Road and hadn't even killed anyone before being sent to the gates of hell, putting on a show of what it means to deliver a head from a thousand miles away.
